Bloomberg for governor idea a popular one?

It once seemed Gov. Eliot Spitzer was untouchable. Now he's plain getting slapped in the face.
According to a post in the Daily News-run Daily Politics blog, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke at a event this morning at the Woodmere Country Club in Nassau County, which was hosted by state Sen. Dean Skelos. It was ...

The Governor of New York MUST reform both the state’s economy toward a more capitalist, free market system and the state’s political system toward a less populist, less authoritarian collection of local fiefdoms.

New York’s state, county and local governments are reaching a tyrannical state and going broke…the infrastructure throughout the state is deteriorating at an alarming rate…and regulations are so burdensome that everyone and every activity is subject to an unlawful offense…or requires some Government authority’s permission.

If Elliot Spitzer fails at these reversing these conditions, then certainly Bloomberg would be a likely candidate to take a try at it.

Spitzer needs to come to the realization that Government is NOT the solution but the source of the problem!

The idea of Mike Bloomberg as a candidate for Governor is hard to resist and I would support it. Based on his performance in NYC and his broad support from city and suburban voters across party lines I’d much prefer to see him as an independent candidate and perhaps a leader for our state and other states out of this polarized morass we call government.

I like Bloomberg. He is an understated man and a very bright man at the same time. He’s courageous without the bombast. He has built an empire based on good ideas, focus on what’s important, and the ability to marshall the energies of many others. In other words a very good leader.
The comment above suggests that Bloomberg should run as an independent, and I agree. It’s about time we kicked the dominent parties in the ***, and impressed them with the fact that they have to perfom for the people.
Mike’s a great choice for governor

In other mixed Bloomberg ’08 news, the Associated Press resurrects the salacious sexual harrassment suits that dented Bloomberg in his 2001 mayoral race:

• Bloomberg asked the woman who sued if she was giving her boyfriend “good” oral sex.
• He said “I’d like to do that” and “That’s a great piece of ***” to describe women in the office.

• When he found out the woman was pregnant, he told her “Kill it!” and said “Great! Number 16!”—an apparent reference to the number of women in the company who were pregnant or had maternity-related status.
